  • Sadly, yes.

    RSS off of other profile content (such as posts) serves an acceptable function I guess (e.g. cross-posting, blog feed) but sharing saved posts does not meet the cut for some reason.

    Feel free to jump on that ticket and articulate a more compelling argument, if it’s still open. More votes might change their stance over time.


  • Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.

    You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.

    Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.

    Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.








  • I too had this problem recently during my first Linux test drive.

    The network set up you’re describing is actually the process for setting up your device as a hotspot, not to connect to the Internet.

    As mentioned here elsewhere, it’s a driver issue. You have two choices:

    1. Download drivers to the USB drive and update the WiFi chip.
    2. Easier: connect your phone’s hotspot by Bluetooth connection from the device instead. Then run the update manager to bring in everything that’s missing.

    After this you should be able to click the system tray network icon and just pick your WiFi connection/router of choice like you’d normally expect to be there.
